1) Countable nouns
‘Eggs’ and ‘sausage’ are countable nouns. Countable nouns can be singular (an egg) or plural (eggs).
Before singular countable nouns, we can use a/an, the, my, this, one etc. We cannot use singular
countable nouns alone:

Before plural countable nouns, we can also use some, any, many, few, etc. Plural countable nouns can
be used alone. We cannot use a/an.

I don’t have any posters in my bedroom, but I have a few plants.
2) Uncountable nouns
‘Bread’ is an uncountable noun. We cannot count uncountable nouns. For example, we cannot say
‘two breads’. We can use uncountable nouns alone or with the, some, any, much, a lot of, etc:
